history notes since the last import:
OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 14
- Fix endian issues when processing IPv6 addresses for extended subject
and process tokens.
- gcc41 warnings clean.
- Teach audit_submit(3) about getaudit_addr(2).
- Add support for zonename tokens.
OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 13
- compat/clock_gettime.h now provides a compatibility implementation of
clock_gettime(), which fixes building on Mac OS X.
- Countless man page improvements, markup fixes, content fixs, etc.
- XML printing support via "praudit -x".
- audit.log.5 expanded to include additional BSM token types.
- Added encoding and decoding routines for process64_ex, process32_ex,
subject32_ex, header64, and attr64 tokens.
- Additional audit event identifiers for listen, mlockall/munlockall,
getpath, POSIX message queues, and mandatory access control.

notes since the last import:
OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 11
- Reclassify certain read/write operations as having no class rather than the
fr/fw class; our default classes audit intent (open) not operations (read,
write).
- Introduce AUE_SYSCTL_WRITE event so that BSD/Darwin systems can audit reads
and writes of sysctls as separate events. Add additional kernel
environment and jail events for FreeBSD.
- Break AUDIT_TRIGGER_OPEN_NEW into two events, AUDIT_TRIGGER_ROTATE_USER
(issued by the user audit(8) tool) and AUDIT_TRIGGER_ROTATE_KERNEL (issued
by the kernel audit implementation) so that they can be distinguished.
- Disable rate limiting of rotate requests; as the kernel doesn't retransmit
a dropped request, the log file will otherwise grow indefinitely if the
trigger is dropped.
- Improve auditd debugging output.
- Fix a number of threading related bugs in audit_control file reading
routines.
- Add APIs au_poltostr() and au_strtopol() to convert between text
representations of audit_control policy flags and the flags passed to
auditon(A_SETPOLICY) and retrieved from auditon(A_GETPOLICY).
- Add API getacpol() to return the 'policy:' entry from audit_control, an
extension to the Solaris file format to allow specification of policy
persistent flags.
- Update audump to print the audit_control policy field.
- Update auditd to read the audit_control policy field and set the kernel
policy to match it when configuring/reconfiguring. Remove the -s and -h
arguments as these policies are now set via the configuration file. If a
policy line is not found in the configuration file, continue with the
current default of setting AUDIT_CNT.
- Fix bugs in the parsing of large execve(2) arguments and environmental
variable tokens; increase maximum parsed argument and variable count.
- configure now detects strlcat(), used by policy-related functions.
- Reference token and record sample files added to test tree.

- Use AU_TO_WRITE and AU_NO_TO_WRITE for the 'keep' argument to au_close();
previously we used hard-coded 0 and 1 values.
- Add man page for au_open(), au_write(), au_close(), and
au_close_buffer().
- Support a more complete range of data types for the arbitrary data token:
add AUR_CHAR (alias to AUR_BYTE), remove AUR_LONG, add AUR_INT32 (alias
to AUR_INT), add AUR_INT64.
- Add au_close_token(), which allows writing a single token_t to a memory
buffer. Not likely to be used much by applications, but useful for
writing test tools.
- Modify au_to_file() so that it accepts a timeval in user space, not just
kernel -- this is not a Solaris BSM API so can be modified without
causing compatibility issues.
- Define a new API, au_to_header32_tm(), which adds a struct timeval
argument to the ordinary au_to_header32(), which is now implemented by
wrapping au_to_header32_tm() and calling gettimeofday(). #ifndef KERNEL
the APIs that invoke gettimeofday(), rather than having a variable
definition. Don't try to retrieve time zone information using
gettimeofday(), as it's not needed, and introduces possible failure
modes.
- Don't perform byte order transformations on the addr/machine fields of
the terminal ID that appears in the process32/subject32 tokens. These
are assumed to be IP addresses, and as such, to be in network byte
order.
- Universally, APIs now assume that IP addresses and ports are provided
in network byte order. APIs now generally provide these types in
network byte order when decoding.
- Beginnings of an OpenBSM test framework can now be found in openbsm/test.
This code is not built or installed by default.
- auditd now assigns more appropriate syslog levels to its debugging and
error information.
- Support for audit filters introduced: audit filters are dynamically
loaded shared objects that run in the context of a new daemon,
auditfilterd. The daemon reads from an audit pipe and feeds both BSM and
parsed versions of records to shared objects using a module API. This
will provide a framework for the writing of intrusion detection services.
- New utility API, audit_submit(), added to capture common elements of audit
record submission for many applications.
